"Miss Baker, I can swim backwards!"

I went to Grace Christian School today to volunteer. It was great! Sat in the younger grades' chapel and Jonathan Barret spoke. He did a slide show presentation of his trip and for every picture the younger kids (mostly those in kindergaten I assume) would ooh and aah. I wanted to laugh out loud a few times, but I was able to contain myself. They were just too funny.
Then I went down to the kindergarten for a bit and watched them practice for their graduation. They were super cute. I really enjoyed that.
Also supervised a grade seven study hall. I'm going to have to bring myself some stuff to do while I'm there next time. I just sat and watched the kids read or do homework. Whish that I had had study halls when I was in junior high. They would have been useful.
I can't wait to go again tomorrow!

To the top of the parking garage!

Do any of you realize how high parking garages really are. I felt so sick looking over the top of one yesterday. Not that I'm afraid of heights, but I guess I just let the idea of falling off get to me.

I ate at the Noodle House for the first time. There was nobody there and the waitress looked really happy to see some customers. The food wasn't that bad either, I was impressed. Although the pop was disgusting. Definetly fountain and not worth the $1.50 I paid for it.

Also watched Pride and Prejudice last night for the first time. That is such a great movie! Now I am going to have to read the book. Why was I not born in that time period either? Would that not be that nicest thing ever? Dancing all the time and wearing those beautiful dresses? And the romance! (All the guys who are reading this are probably thinking right now that . . .well I don't know what they would be thinking. . .but I don't think its, "Yes Sarah, I agree with you!". . .anyways. . .little tangent there) Anyways, I was very impressed with the film.

And tomorrow I get to go see Gillian who is home finally!

So I will end by commenting on the weather which is very nice today. I am so happy to see the sun which has been non existent for about a week.

10 down and 1 more to go

Well I finished the fall and winter semesters at school. Now I'm taking one more course in May. Then I will be finished with the University.
I have about 4 and a half months till I go to Briercrest. I am so excited about it. I've been on the piano everday and am constantly bursting into song. September can come fast enough.
Well I quit Zellers, so I really need a job for the summer. Hopefully something will come up or I'll need like 20 private swimming lessons.
Well. . .I have nothing else to add really. Except that the rain has finally stopped. It was pouring like crazy these past couple days. I didn't find it much fun driving home at midnight after dropping of Heidi on Sunday. Too much rain.
Speaking of Sunday, good times at the Brays. I don't think I've ever been that giddy in a long time. There were times that I could not stop laughing.
Alright. . .time to do some productive stuff. Like sort my sock drawer by color.

Its Official

I have been accepted to Briercrest! So thats where I'm headed at the end of the summer. I'm super excited and super nervous. I can't wait to see what God has for me there (and no comments from you Misty ;), you know what I'm talking about).
I'll be sad to leave PEI, but I think it has been long overdue.
Now all I have to figure out is what courses I'll be taking for my first semester. . .and how I am going to pay for it all . . .anyone wish to contribute to the Sarah charity?

Its final.

Well after some headache, I have decided to go to Briercrest. My application is all done and I only need to send a final transcript. I'm super excited now. I've even started practicing the piano again (as I have to pass a test to be able to do music program). Thanks to everyone that has been praying for me. I didn't realize how difficult choosing a school could be, but I believe this is where I'm supposed to be going.
Well. . .back to studying for tomorrows exam. . .well maybe back to studying for tomorrows exam. . .there are 4 sleep stages in a cycle plus the REM stage. . .

Prayer Request

So one day this past week, at about 9:00, after a long discussion with her mother, Sarah went on the internet to see what she could come up with in terms of another school. That's right folks, another school. It wasn't to long till she found . . .
. . . and then she stayed on the site till 1:00 the next morning. The next day, after discussion with parents of course, she started the application process.

So this is what I want you guys to pray for. I'm applying for a Bachelor of Arts in Music with a performance emphasis. (Music?! I'll be studying voice, which I actually used to study, believe it or not, about 2 years ago. It was super expensive though and my instructor [who actually encouraged me to persue music in university] moved away.) Pray that I'm making the right choice and that I will seek and do God's will in my life.

Its a nerve racking decision. If I get accepted, I'll be going across the country to Saskatchewan and I know that I'll be terribly homesick. I think that it is a good decision though. I'll be in a Christian environment and will be taking courses on the Bible, so hopefully I will grow spiritually. I'll also be independent of my family and I guess I will probably grow up a bit (or a lot) more. God only knows what the next four years might bring.

and Grandpa . . . if you happen to read this in the next few days. . .I want to know your thoughts on this.
